Hi all !

We’re doing our best to sift through the piles and piles of content that you all worked so hard to produce and we’re certainly working to improve the vote system.  While we make improvements, here are some tips that can help your deviation catch the community’s attention and gain some much-earned exposure.



1. Profile

While we love reading the content , it’s just as important to put a face (or an avatar at least) to your profile. If you haven’t already, be sure to take some time to add information about yourself to your profile.
A profile picture – even if it’s not a picture of yourself (but I prefer a true picture of yourself of course ) – helps to grab a viewer’s attention and shows us that you’re passionate about what you’re doing (You're not anonymous and proud to share your work).  Remember, it’s the little things that can often go the furthest.
By the way, a cool profile will be visited more often

2. Title

The first thing people are going to see is your deviation, but a very important thing is how you choose your deviation’s title. A title should very briefly describe to the reader what your deviation is about.  Clever titles may take some time to refine so before you hit that publish button, watch a last time your deviation and ask yourself if the title matches what you’re trying to say.  Ultimately, a title is an attention-grabbing.

3. Be CREATIVE !

Because that's all, be fuckin' creative and send us your talent.

Just an advice, don't try to send us every deviation you submit. ->
Don't send it to the featured section. (This folder is reserved for true creative deviations).
In the "People and portrait" folder, I accept only beautiful deviation, and deny any DeviantArt ID.

That's the rules, please respect it !

4. Join the team ?

Be sure to be member of the group. Then contact me, and show me your true creative gallery !
I'm open to answer to any questions too

5. Let's share the love
